He Tackled the Wrong Gus

He was aconsumptive-looking tramp,
and you wouldn't have guessed that he
had eaten a square meal in three
months.
He plodded his weary way languidly
into Chicago, this morning, and had
just struck the outskirts, down Bridge.

out all his teeth, fattened his nose past

Life of Literary People.

Tit be said that literary people mu
live, and that literature is a p:ccarious
means of support. the obvious reply
would be that all means of income are
precar Gus, and literature no more so
than the rest. Whatever employment
one chooses. he must take the SIX of
failure in it. Many lawyer has liter
ally almost no clients; many physician
has hatdly any patients; and why should
writer expect to be more secure? His
possible pr zcs in money are not so
great as the lawyers probably, but they
are greater than those OF TIE physician
or the Clergyman; and the blanks are
less. on the whole, than in either of
these occupations. have known men
of all these professions who were abso-
lutely unemployed. A lawyer of unu-
sual attainmeats. returning in middle
lite TO the home of his youth. told me
that for one year Inc had not single eli

as draw will or deed.
have never known q decently equip
ped literary man or woman to be left
thus hopelessly stranded; there was al
ways something 10 be earned, even at a
low price. Apparently the bitterest of
these complaints emanate from literary
men in large cities who live face to face
with the vast successes of the stock cx-
change, and cannot be satisfied so long
as the nation does not furnish them
with corresponding incomes. They do
not recognize that perhaps it is poverty
which has drawn out of them whatever
approach to genius they have shown
and that, if they gained the millions
which they seem to themselves to de.
serve, perhaps the genius might vanish.
